As with any institution of learning, you get out what you put in. I believe that I have gotten a great education in the time I was here. Not because of the 'mechanical wheels of learning', but rather because of a personal desire to learn. There is opportunity for growth here but it requires a dedicated and motivated individual in order achieve. Of course that is true no matter what university one decides to enroll in.For those who are interested in coming to the University of Louisville as a grad student I can only provide a cursory overview. Recently the University of Louisville has had a lot of new construction to beautify the campus. Apparently the wife of the Dean convinced him to spend 10 million dollars on making the campus more beautiful, and the effects show. New facilities and research buildings are being constructed that range in the millions of dollars. Some of the facilities are old and should be renovated, however with all of the new construction it may not be an issue in the near future.The University of Louisville invests heavily into research and offers heavy incentives for anyone who wants to innovate new technologies. The university's research funds have been continuously increasing year after year. It is very easy to get involved as a research assistant here at the University.Each of the graduate assistant labs are of exceptional quality providing the necessary tools to get projects moving. Graduate projects in robotics, pattern recognition, biometrics, RFID, artificial intelligence, etc are carried out on a daily basis here. Students have the ability to work with expensive sensitive equipment. The new Shoemaker Research Building is a testament to that fact.As a graduate you are given the freedom to take on individual projects and research instead of taking more classes. This gives individuals the ability to work on real life relevant engineering problems. Herbert Hoover said it best:
